- In January 2016, Chapman's Baobab, one of the largest and best-known baobab trees in southern Africa, collapsed and died unexpectedly at its location in the Makgadikgadi Pans of Botswana. In 2019, rumours began to circulate that, although it had collapsed, the tree was not totally dead, and was in fact still showing signs of life. In this episode, Gus, the African Plant Hunter, heads off into the remote wilderness of the Makgadikgadi Pans in search of answers.

When the this majestic tree fall,the whole area will tremble ,I will never forget it ,it was like the world is coming to an end. It was too loud and scary .we had to hide then went out to check later ,the whole village was shaken ,everyone was asking what happened
Wow, that was an impressive tree! I hope it makes it upright again.
It was indeed, very impressive. And a real gut wrench when we heard it had fallen down!
Gus did you ever go back to it afterwards to see if there were bigger new shoots?
Covid got in the way. But I will do, I promise!
Update?!!
Thanks. We are visiting in the next few weeks and will update!
I am groot. Would it be possible to replant clippings ?
Great question. I don't know, to be honest. Baobab regenerates readily from root suckers, so I would guess so . But I've never tried. It also grows so easily from seed that I've never had to try vegetative propagation!
The seeds are easy to use .we grew up with a big baobob tree ,we use to have seedlings everytime ,and we uproot them because we did not want many .after the big one fell ,we kept one which is now less than 20 years old .and it is near the dead one .
This makes my heart so glad!
Thanks, it made my heart glad too!
Alive , still a dad sight. Withstood thousand years but succumbed to drought from climate change. Alarm and a slither of hope.
Please, please, let it live...
Looks much like Adenium.
